Anna-Lynne McCord Nearly Played Rosalie In Twilight!

90210 star AnnaLynne McCord is still in negotiations to play Volturi temptress Heidi in New Moon, saying there are still some scheduling conflicts to work out. But what is quite interesting is that she revealed in a new MTV article she almost played Rosalie in Twilight–

Something that few Twifans realize, however, is that the vampire-loving actress nearly played Nikki Reed’s part in the original film. “They wanted me to play Rosalie,” she recalled. “I met with the producers when ‘Twilight’ was casting, the original. I was on ‘Nip/Tuck’ at the time. And they were like, ‘We’d love to have you in this little film we’re doing called ‘Twilight,’ but the family only has small roles.’ They were like, ‘It shoots in Oregon, so you probably couldn’t do it anyway.’ And I was like, ‘If it shot [in L.A.] that would be cool.”

“Then this little film ‘Twilight’ blows up, crazy,” she laughed, enjoying her seemingly predestined participation in the franchise. “So, I came back in for a [recent 'New Moon'] meeting and was like, ‘Hey, remember me? I supported you way back when!’ I’m like, ‘Let’s do this!’”
